Types of oven racks

Your range may be equipped with one or more of the oven

rack styles shown.

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Oven vent location

The oven vent is located under the left side of the

control panel (See Fig. 1). When the oven is on, warm

air passes through this vent. This venting is necessary for

proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results.

Do not block the oven vent.

The flat oven rack or flat handle oven rack (some

models) may be used for most cooking needs.

The offset oven rack (some models) is designed to place

the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than

normal. This rack design provides several additional

possible locations between the standard positions.

Removing, replacing & arranging racks

To remove - pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up

front of rack and slide out.

To replace - fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls.

Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into

place.

Arranging - always arrange the oven racks when the oven

is cool (prior to operating the oven).

Always use oven mitts when using the oven. When

using the appliance, oven racks and cooktop will become

very hot which can cause burns.

Air circulation in the oven

For best baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the

cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and

cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or

back of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate

around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to

reach around the food.

Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks

For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks,

place cookware on rack positions 2 & 5 (See Fig. 1). For

best results when using a single oven flat rack, place

cookware on rack position 5 (See Fig. 2).
